Serpent Statue no longer costing mana???

After all the patch notes so far, this has me the most excited. 27k mana for another 50% soothing mist was never really worth it in case of death or being displaced at a great enough distance to make it desummon. This is pretty damn sexy.

Yes, this change is more than welcome. More importantly it'll allow for better positioning of the statue midway through an encounter in case your eminence healing via your statue isn't being as effective due to its limited 20 yd range coverage.

in 5.2 it will probably be well worth it, for the double eminance :-)
It's a nice QoL change. (being able to replace it as much as wanted is nice, but I'm not really gonna be saving mana through the change, hardly ever replaced it infight)

You should read tooltips.. the statue is more useful for the eminence duplication and is very useful for those smart heals.

You should read posts..i was stateing that the cost of the statue never justified the extra 50% soothing mist.

What is your healing rotation if you are not fist weaving and not using soothing mist, to not use it it is a waste of using soothing mist. Not to point out it's flexibility to heal more than one target.

Sigh, i never said i wasn't fist weaving or soothing mist. Seriously where did you get that from? Simple statement: Reapplying the statue was not worth the cost for another 50% soothing mist. There have been many many fights this tier where there was a big threat of dieing simply to bad rng or being displaced somewhere only to return with no statue. On majority of these fights Your mana is going to be getting drained so reapplying the statue is 27k mana you can't really afford to spend. And the flexibility to recast soothing mist 5 times to get it on your primary target.

What I'm saying is it's worth the eminence it's generating. Maybe it's not worth the soothing mist, I don't know, this is rarely used in raids.

It's like 10% of your total healing on any fights.

It was annoying to have to wait for mana tea to be off cooldown to replace the statue on fight like heroic Zor'lok where you have to move from platforms to platforms.

I was purposely pointing out the soothing mist part. There are fights that you can't be up on the boss 24/7 to jab. And some monk playstyles don't go heavy on the fist weaveing, myself for example, i only fistweave if its mandatory such as fights like elegon or if you need that bit of extra healing like empress. I tend to stay with a heavy use of healing spheres while maintaining my mana tea. I bring this up because you said soothing mist is only 10% of your total healing, to be doing a heavy healing sphere playstyle, you need soothing mist to locate the person and turn your toon towards them. This save some much needed seconds when a heal is crucial. This being said Soothing mist will generate more than 10% of your overall heals. To bring my initial statement into play it didn't justify reapplying the statue since your constantly redoing your soothing mist. Since its not viable to to purely soothing mist a target taking heavy damage your using SM as a means to put forth a bigger heal.

Well I pvp so their might be some differences on how we heal...
